Do I Need a Vendor's License to Sell at a Fair?

[janezapchef]

Do I need a vendor's license to have a booth at a fair? I've never thought about it before, but a fair I am planning to work had it on the registration form. And, if I don't need it, does anyone know if my mom, who is a (brand new) crafter, is going to need one? Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
Jane

I have done tons of fairs that did not require them, but one that did. Just contact HO and they will email you a copy you can print. (If you really need one)

Do you know if crafters need a license if they don't charge tax?

Hi Jane,Great question! The requirement for a vendor's license can vary depending on the specific fair or event you are planning to attend. I recommend reaching out to the fair organizers directly to inquire about their policies and any necessary licenses or permits. As for your mom, it's always best to err on the side of caution and check with the event organizers as well. They will be able to provide you with the most accurate information.I hope this helps and good luck at the fair!Best,
